Memories feature on Facebook can be fun. Congrats to Historical League donating 2,800 Centennial books to schools in 2015. Arizona Recollections and Reflections: An Arizona Centennial Historymakers Commemoration continues to inform 4th and 8th grade students of the Historymakers Program. It shows AZ history from a personal perspective.
Wonderful to have new faces/members at our meetings and lunches.

So many smiling faces during social time and lunch. We really do have serious business meetings and get a lot accomplished but Historical League members are a very friendly group.
Thanks again to Sandy Loeffler who has been creating table centerpieces for our meetings for years. Valentines month brought us candies with hidden messages inside.

National Pie Day was Monday, Jan. 23. Did you get your pie?

Talking Trash: that's what 29 members and guests did on the tour of City of Phoenix trash facility. Thanks to Lynn Wood for organizing this tour with our guide Alicia Flores, who entertained us with stories. She educated us about the handling and process of recycling, separation of trash, distribution to their landfills. Also about the usage and resale of recycled recovery items as well as compost and paper shredded bundles.
The official name is North Gateway Transfer Station and Materials Recovery Facility on 30205 N. Black Canyon Hwy in Phoenix.
After the tour was lunch. Lynn Wood reflected, "Our luncheon gathering at Salt Taco Y Tequilla (Shops at Norterra) was a fun gathering and food was delicious."
Thanks to Bonnie Newhoff for these photos.
